PLAGIARISM  and Your WRITINGS

Plagiarism, a deliberate attempt to claim ideas or writings which belong to another as one's own, is a serious offense against the academic community. Plagiarism is not justifiable by paraphrase or even by extensive rewriting of someone else's work. Wherever an idea is borrowed, the student must give credit and, in a formal paper, cite the source.

A student who submits to his/her instructor in fulfillment of course requirements a paper which is substantially plagiarized shall be assigned a grade of "F" for the course, and the instructor will submit evidence to the Academic Dean. The Dean shall notify the student that the "F" grade has been entered for the course.

In instances of plagiarism of less gravity, such as a single passage within a paper, the instructor will use discretion as to the nature of the penalty.

PLAGIARISM and the INTERNET

There are several large sites which sell papers, and even more which maintain small collections available for free.  These repositories are to be avoided.  For there is more at stake than a grade.

There is an extensive list of Internet Paper Mills.   Here are a few.  We pray you will use your own words/works and not others.
